Map+

A performant and customizable map layout for Obsidian Bases. This plugin functions similarly to the official Maps plugin, but is more performant for big vaults, adds extensibility with a tag hierarchy, adds thumbnail support to locations, and allows more customizability in general.

Installation

You can install this plugin with BRAT, or directly from the releases.

Usage

Setting up coordinates

Option 1: Use global frontmatter keys

In plugin settings, set:

• Latitude key (e.g., lat or location[0])
• Longitude key (e.g., lng or location[1])

These will be used as the global default.

Option 2: Use a coordinates property in your base

In your base view options, set the "Coordinates property" to a property containing coordinates.

The property value should be either:

• A list: [latitude, longitude]
• A string: "latitude,longitude"

Customizing tags

In plugin settings under "Tags":

1. Click "Add" to create a tag customization
2. Choose a tag from your vault
3. Pick a color and optional icon
4. Drag tags to reorder priority

Higher tags take precedence in locations with multiple tags.
